December 19th, 2020

It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Christina Rae Hunter on December 19, 2020 at the age of 79.

Chris was born in Victoria, BC, the only child to Ethel and William Surradge. They moved to Burnaby, BC where Chris met the love of her life, Jim Hunter, at Burnaby North Highschool.

Chris and Jim married and settled in Surrey, BC where they welcomed their son, Russ in 1968. Here they formed lifelong friendships and spent countless hours at their cabin at Anderson Lake.

In 1980 Jim took a job transfer to Kamloops and they settled in Rayleigh. Chris and Jim were proud members of the Shriners and Daughters of the Nile. Chris was also a longtime member of the YMCA where she met friends to work out, but especially enjoyed the luncheons that followed.

Chris was an avid Canucks fan and never missed a game. She was also the biggest fan of her two grandchildren, Bennett and Sophie whom she attended every game, recital and concert, never missing an event.

Left to mourn her passing is her son Russ, daughter in law Tara, grandchildren Bennett and Sophie.

Chris is predeceased by her husband James George Hunter on December 16, 2007 and parents Ethel and William Surradge.

A special thank you to her wonderful Rayleigh neighbors who loved and cared for her like family.

There will be no formal ceremony.
